History
History
In 1990, during the protests to prevent the removal of the Memorial to the Heroes of the Red Flags, protestors painted the sculpture with flowers and peace signs, and dedicated it to musicians Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain. They wrote on it text, which, when translated, read "To Jimi Hendrix; To Kurt Cobain; Make love not war; War is over; To all, who love freedom". The monument was preserved, and remained in its painted form until 2006 when it was cleaned. On 20 September 2012, nearby was unveiled the statue of Jimi Hendrix, designed by Adam Szczepański.
